Ingredients
  

  • 2 spaghetti squash medium to large
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup black olives sliced
  • 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • Dash of Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut the top and bottom off of each spaghetti squash, then stand on one end and slice through the squash carefully.
  3. Scoop out seeds and stringy bits.
  4. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place cut-side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 40-60 minutes, depending on squash size and oven strength.
  7. Once you can pierce the squash with a fork easily, shred and 'fluff' the squash with a fork until you get strings of 'spaghetti'. Keep the squash noodles inside its boat.
  8. Add a drizzle of olive oil into the squash noodles, and about half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
  9. Add other toppings, and the rest of the cheese. Place back in the oven for 5-8 minutes, broiling at the end if desired, until cheese is melted
